What participants say

"The entire experience was enlightening. It gave me an insight on how someone would make a critical decisions while under such pressure. It also provided examples of how one should consider different alternatives and biases prior to making a decision.”

"By far one of the best module with the real-life case study. The facilitator maintained the pace and added intensity into the learning which kept us at the edge to find out what happen next. I really enjoyed the session!"

"It was a valuable and experiential learning through this session. We don't need a hostage situation to get us thinking what are our unsettled matters or any of the key factors indicated but the similarities of the situation can be parallels to the situations we face daily in our work and personal lives."
